That ended up being a really close game. Thanks to everyone for participating, I hope it was as fun to play as it was for me to host. Perhaps after taking a break for a few weeks, I'll host another round of this, if anyone's interested then.

Mistakes were made. I wasted too many turns and left too many points on the board by going for routes of 2-4 instead of routes of 5-6. If I had gone Ecruteak to Cianwood along the outside, I probably would have had enough turns to get across the map and finish my route to Fuschia.

@smol Kat , I’ve gotta say, you reeeeally messed me up by claiming Pallet-Celadon-Fuschia right before I was headed there. My re-routing there probably cost me the win. :(
